Grab some white glue. We buy Elmer’s glue by the gallon because it so much
cheaper than picking up the little bottles at the store. Head to the pantry and grab
cornstarch and white vinegar. Lastly you’ll need a bit body lotion and baby oil.

This DIY clay is a perfect replacement for the more expensive store bought air dry
clay or polymer clay like Sculpey.
Updated to add this DIY clay will not be the same consistency of polymer clay.
While it can be a substitute for polymer clay in some applications it is not meant
to be a replica of polymer clay. This DIY clay is super soft. It is perfect for lots of
arts and crafts projects and an amazing sensory experience just to follow the
recipe and make your own clay!

HOW TO MAKE AIR DRYWatch
CLAY, THE EASY
to learn more
WAY….
Mix all air dry clay ingredients together in a large mixing bowl till smooth. Chances
are your DIY clay will still be sticky mess at this point. Do not panic- this is normal
and it will get better!
Start with the ingredient amounts listed below and slowly add bits more
cornstarch until the mixture can hold no more. Add just a little at a time. Soon the
air dry clay will go from being sticky to smooth, stretchy, and super soft. You’ll
know you have added enough cornstarch when it becomes difficult to mix more
in.
There’s quite a bit of wiggle room for getting this mixture “just right” so don’t
hesitate to let your kiddos get in there and do the dirty work of mixing and
measuring!

stop adding cornstarch before the clay starts to feel dry and stiff. We have revived
air dry clay that got a bit too dry with a tiny splash of additional baby oil.

This process totally reminds me of making a pie. Not that I make many pies of my
own but I have great memories of my mom and grandma making them. The great
thing about letting your kids take part in this mixing of the homemade clay recipe
is that this isn’t rocket science.
It doesn’t have to be perfect for it to be super fun, a great memory, and a totally

usable ball of homemade air dry clay to craft with!

READY TO USE AIRWatch
DRY CLAY….
to learn more
At this point your DIY clay is ready to use. Mold it, make , let it dry- it’s really that
simple. The drying time will depend on the thickness of the finished clay product.
Projects that are super thick will take longer to dry while thinner projects made
with this air dry clay recipe should be dry in a day or so.
I’ve used many DIY clay recipes that looked awesome when they were wet but
when they dried they left behind a cracked mess and tear stained cheeks of a little
artist. Art that ends in tears is not my favorite. We have made this air dry clay
recipe over and over and have never had a cracked project. I’m not saying that it
can’t happen but it’s more than likely you’ll end up with a great finished project.
That’s as much as you can ask for in the world of kid’s art!
